Important Policies



Late to class

Students are to be seated in class by the designated posted time, or they will be counted as late. Once they have entered the classroom they are not permitted to leave for any reason. Students are responsible for having all of their materials with them. The bathroom should be used in between classes.

Homework Policy

Homework should be copied into planners at the beginning of class. During this time the previous nights’ homework will be checked. Homework is checked daily (25 points per day) and students will receive one grade for the entire week. If students have their homework, and it is complete, they will receive 25 points towards the week’s homework grade. Missing homework (anything that is not with the student) will receive zero points. Students will not be allowed to go to their lockers for their homework. Incomplete homework or homework that doesn’t have any work on the paper will receive 5 points.

Late Work

Late work is not accepted.

Gum, food, and drinks

Gum, food, and drinks are not allowed in the classroom.

Attendance policy and makeup work

Students have five days to make up work when absent. It can be handed in earlier if complete. It is the student’s responsibility to get their makeup work when they come back to school. It is also their responsibility to hand the work in. Any work assigned prior to the absence is due upon return to school.

Cheating

Cheating will result in a 0 as the grade for the assignment and an office referral.

Heading

Students are to put the AVID heading on all work that is submitted. The heading will be reviewed in class. Any work that does not have a name on it will result in a deduction of 20 points. Any work that is missing a heading will have 10 points deducted from the grade.
